Collector Commands and Responses

STATUS Command (ZEMS-CMD-STATUS)
Response Token Usage Considerations

Basic SPI signifies that the presence of this token in the command is dictated by
the basic SPI command language standards that govern multiple objects and
responses.

Unconditional signifies that the token always appears in the response.

AC only signifies that the item is returned only by the alternate collector.

PC only signifies that the item is returned only by the primary collector.

Conditional 1 signifies that one of these tokens is present for every burst table
entry that is in the BURST state.

Error only signifies that this token is present only when an error or warning is
reported in the response record.

If all object types and names are requested (the first form of ZCOM-CMD-
LISTOBJECTS), a response record is built for each object type. The EMS collector
returns only two types of response records: -COLL and -FILTER. Each response
record contains an -OBJNAME token for each object of the type -OBJTYPE. There
can be zero, one, or many occurrences of the -OBJNAME token.
For a detailed description of these response tokens, see Common Definitions of
ZCOM- Commands on page 19-4.
STATUS Command (ZEMS-CMD-STATUS)
The STATUS command returns event-message statistics and current information about
collector attributes to a distributor or other application programs. Distributors use this
command to synchronize access to the log file. Applications programs (including
EMSCINFO) use it to retrieve display information for primary and alternate collector
status displays. Three fields in the ZEMS-MAP-COL-STATUS token map indicate
whether BDS and PLF are enabled or disabled.
